Thornton's actions came in a 4-2 victory Saturday night that gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead in the second-round series. No penalty was assessed on the play.

On Sunday, Thornton apologized for the incident during a Bruins practice at TD Garden. He said he agrees with the fine and just wants to move on.

"I obviously got caught up in the moment," Thornton told reporters, according to The Boston Globe. "I'm sorry that this silly incident kind of overshadowed how my teammates played and the great win and how good this series has been."

The fine of $2,820.52 is the maximum allowed under the league's collective bargaining agreement with the union. The money goes to the players' emergency assistance fund.
